The Philips 6-6 is an oral communication technique in which 36 people participate. It is a technique (the best and most used when it comes to encouraging the participation of all members) ofgroup in which the largest group is divided into 6 groups, and each group consists of 6 participants.
What is it and how to make a Philips 6-6
The dynamic is that each group of 6 people has a time of 6 minutes to discuss a specific topic. Each person has a minute to make their presentation and at the end, each subgroup summarizes the main ideas (by a rapporteur, who can be someone from the same group). That is, the people involved are 6, and a rapporteur who will have a minute to finish cohesive the main ideas and expose them at the end to the plenary.
So the other groups continue successively.
At the end each secretary or relator read the different points of view obtained from the exercise.
When to use the Philips 6-6 technique?
When there is a large audience and before events in which this has been largely passive,this technique is carried out to energize the group, and also allows the participation of all or almost the entire group.
In working groups, where not everyone participates, or where they participate, it is a very good technique to encourage participation.
